AnchorsAweigh is most often remembered for the combination live-action / cartoon sequence with Tom and Jerry, but there's a lot more here that's worth a look.

And there's the whole reason for seeing the movie nowadays, the extended dance sequence Kelly does with Jerry Mouse in "The Worry Song." It combines cartoons and live action in a funny, complex dance that must have been enormously complicated to do.

And the movie is so long...2 hours and 20 minutes...there are times you just want it to end.

AnchorsAweigh is the first of Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra's two "sailors on shore leave" pictures.

Gene Kelly is the sophisticated ladies man, and Sinatra is the Brooklyn naif who, not wanting to spend another shore leave hanging out at the library, follows Kelly around hoping to meet some dames, some dishes, some goyls.

If my film school lessons are still with me, this is the first time a man and a cartoon appeared together in film.

Sinatra's I Fall in Love Too Easily, the exuberant Kelly/Sinatra We Hate to Leave and other highlights helped AnchorsAweigh weigh in with an Academy Award for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture, plus four more Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Actor (Kelly).
